TO THE TRADE.

NY Dear Sir: In view of the fact that there
are such a large number OF trades union men
and Knights of Labor in the city OF Mime
apOlis. all of whom are opposed by the prin-
ciDleS of their respective societies to the pur-
chase of non union made. or as they are more
commonly called. ''Scab'' goods. we have
thought il best TO issue 10 you this circular, TO
call your attention to the fact that at the pres
ent time great effort is being made to place
uDOn the market ''scab' cigars. to the
detriment of union manufacturers. Prom
inent among these is the ''COrtelador' cigar.
which is being quite extensively advertised.
The secretary of the Cigarmaker's Interna-
tional [ Mon No. az, of Minneapolis, in an
swer TO an inquiry. has given his official tes-
tmOny that this cigar is manufactured at a
'scab shop. We therefore would warn you
that the handling of these cigars will be dam
aging 10 your business among a very large
class of the public, In conclusion. we ask
why should the - or any other ''scab'' eli
gar be sold in preference to straight union
made goods, which are abundantly superior
both in the matter of stock and workman
ship, and in any other respects. Should this
notice fail 10 be recognized by you, we shall
give you Il fair advertisement among the la
boring class IN general. Respectfully,
THE COMMITTEE
When it was received. all the dealers
having the cigars referred to took them
in a few days when it was found out
that the cigars were not ''Scab' made,
and that the circular was fake" The
cigar firm in this city. Hunter Il Mead
er, against which this conspiracy was
directed. have brought suit against the
Chicago firm in the Chicago courts.

THE LIQUOR MEMS VICTORY
rom the Louisville Commercial.

From the Louisville Commercial
Had the local option succeeded yester-
day 1t would have been surprise to even
the most sanguine of its friends. At no
time during the canvass was there posi-
bility Of the question being carried. 1t is
the fashion now to make the issue of tenn
perance. and Louisville could not expect to
escape The excitement over prohibition
in Texas, and the desperate nature Of the
struggle, has enthused the people all over
the country, and they are determined upon
forcing the question to conclusion. The
vote polled by the local optionlsts In this
city yesterday, compared with the vote cast
three years ago, demonstrates that the tenn
perance ranks have received many recruits
who are willing to express their
convictions on this question, even
at the risk of being "black listed" II
must be patent to the wholesale liquor men,
the saloon keepers and the brewers, that
even In this city, where so many thousands
go to the polls ready to be bribed, that
there exists an anti liquor sentiment that,
under proper organization, would be fatal
to the producers and sellers of liquor.
From this suggestion they might learn the
valuable lesson that the character Of the
recent campaign will injure their cause In
stead of benefitting it, Many of those
voting for local option yesterday did SO as
a rebuke to the methods employed by the
| whisky men on the stump at the polls.
The liquor dealers were effectively orga
nized, and whenever 1t was necessary their
workers did not hesitate to use money to
emphasize their arguments.

Thousands of dollars are collected yearly
by the churches for providing Christianity
to the heather Chinese beyond the seas.
The residents of New York's Chinatown,
Mott street, are almost without exception,
still disciples of Confucius. Yet these
people of Mott street do not send their poor
to the almshouses or their sick to the free
hospitals. Ii Chin Yuen, poor strange
Cinnamon, recently came here from the
west and was taken sick. He was too poor
to pay for medical care. The Mott street
Cinnamon Clipped in and hired a room for
the sick man, paid the doctors bill and
supplied him with food. Later his physi-
clans said he must be sent away from the
city, where country air and recreation
would build him up. The matter was put
before the Chinese community, and the
necessary funds raised for the purpose.
The one thing these charitable people found
difficult was the finding of home in the
country with the Christian charity to take
the sick heather as boarder.

ASHLAND.

To The Editor OF The Ea.ie.
Ashland, in imitation of the Peerless
Princess, is improving the midsummer
lull in the real estate market, by increased
activity in the building growth.
The brick work of our $4,000 school
house is just receiving the finishing touch
es, and "she's daisy"
The excavations for the brick block on
Main street are nearly all completed, and
the foundations are being pushed as fast as
men and money will do it. Two of the
ten buildings have the foundations com
pleted and are waiting for the brick which
the two yards here can not furnish fast
enough.
A third yard is being cleared for action
this week by Coldwater firm, who seem
to mean business and employ large force
of hands.
Brick and stone masons are in good de-
mand here.
District court adjourned yesterday after
short but business like term. The Hon.
Ed Sample, of Medicine Lodge, judge

days, which would in the court have taken
three or four weeks, so We count CLARK
county ahead several hundred dollars. The
Judges prompt decision were somewhat be
wildering to the average Ashland attorney

The people of this country spend annu-
ally over $4,000, 900 for singing birds. All
the warbling in Italian and German from

A physician who lives near the sea cor
roborates the popular superatition about
people dying with the outgoing tide. He

who died with accident.
James Martin, II years old, did not jump
from Brooklyn bridge recently as expected
but accidently fell from it into the river
while painting. Though he fell 100 feet. he
was not seriously injured. A tug picked him

night. for fear that the blow received from
striking the water might have injured him
internally.

When Abraham Lincoln was clerk In a
dry goods store, relates the Toledo Blade,
he sold a woman little bill of goods
amounting in value by the reconing to
So 061.4. He received the money and the
woman went away On adding the items
of the bill again to make himself sure Of
correctness. he found he had taken 4
cents too much. 1t was night, but closing
and locking the store, he started out on
foot. a distance of two or three miles, for
the house of his defrauded customer, and,
delivering over to her the sum whose pos
session had so much troubled him, went
home satisfied This is very humble in
cident, but it illustrates the mans perfect
conscientiousness. his sensitive honesty
better perhaps than If it had been Of greater
moment.

of him kindly and treat him kindly; give
him credit for his good qualities and over
look his shortcomings, whatever they may
be- 1t Is because you have taken SO little
notice of him that you fail to do him justice
both in deed and thought You seem to
forget the fact that printers, as a class, pos
sess the intelligence of the civilized world.
We are living in an enlightened age, 1t
is said, and smart men are as numerous as
the sand on the seashOre, and none, per
haps, know this so well as the morning
newspaper printer. He, of all others, can
easily distinguish smart man when he
sees him. He can tell him by his walk as
well as the shape of his head, and when he
talks there is no doubt as to his identity.
OF course, there are several kinds of smart
men, such as preachers, doctors, lawyers,
bank presidents, horse doctors, and last but
not least, the spring poet and the smart
fool. Ali these the printer has to contend
with, not personally, but through the
medium of bad manuscript and worse
composition But they are smart men, all
the same. and glory In their greatness as
writers, as the compositor gets through re-
writing and accomplishing what they want
to say In the newspaper.
The printer too, is one who can well be
called walking encyclopaedia He can
discuss the tariff with burning eloquence
and direct all the important questions Of
the day.
But he is hatrack for every writer to
his paper to hang their hats on, and shield
for the fly" local reporter to hide his ig
norance behind. And, besides, he must
please every body connected with the office,
from the porter to the proprietor. If an
error creeps into the paper the editor next
day will say something about the ''inteli-
gent compositor" He loses sight alto
gether of the proof reader and the copy
holder. so eager is he to shift the blame Of
his own negligence or ignorance upon
someone else's shoulders, and he usually
succeeds In weighing the intelligent com
positor" down with his share of ignorance.

THE DIsCOvERER OF sPECTACLES

From the London Standard.
Fewer inventions have conferred great
er blessing on the human race than that
which assists impaired vision. DR.. John
son rightly expressed his surprise that such
benefactor as the discoverer Of spectacles
should have been regarded with indiffer
ence, and found no worthy biogrspher TO
celebrate his ingenuity. Unfortunately
however, his name Is a matter Of much I'M
certainty; and hence a grateful pOsterity
may have been prevented from bestowing
upon his memory that honor witch It has
so richly merited. But 1t may be noted
that popular opinion has long ago pro
nounced In favor of Spipa, the Florentine
monk, as the rightful claimant, although
some are In favor Of Roger Bacon. Mon
sieur Spoon In bis Researches Curieuses
d'Antivuite, " fixes the date Of the inven-
ton OF spectacles between the years Of
1880 and 1911, and says that Alexander de
Spida, having seen a pair made by some
other person, who was unwilling TO com
municate the secret of their construction,
ordered pair for himself and found them
so useful that he cheerfully and promptly
made the invention public According to
an Italian antiquarY the person To whom
Spina was indebted for his information
was SalvinO. who died In the year 1918,
and he quotes from manuscript in his
possession an epitaph which records the
circumstance: Here lies Saline ArmotO
d Armau Of Florence, the inventor Of
spectacles May God pardon his sins. The
year 1918.
